Do I need a new setup to go from Eb to Drop C#?

I feel like this might be a stupid question, but I have an Axis Tribute and the EVH D-Tuna didn't work on it, would it still be safe for me to unlock the nut, drop the low string, tune up, and re lock and play? Or would I need to get the guitar re setup? I have had the urge to do some drop tuned riffing on the axis but don't want to damage the neck. Thanks guys!

The D-Tuna "will" work if correctly set.

Yes, just drop it and goooooooooooooooooo!!

As TNT stated you will be just fine and if you know how to set the D-Tuna it will work fine. I would just keep an eye out for any relief in the neck, so you may need to give the truss rod a tweak.

Ok I might take it to my local tech and see if he can figure out the D-Tuna, I have seen on here some other people had troubles with it on the Axis tributes as well. Thanks guys!
